Background

King Charles III Charitable Fund (KCCF) is the working name of The Prince of Wales’s Charitable Foundation. Founded in 1979 to support the then Prince of Wales's charitable work, it aims to transform lives and build sustainable communities by funding a wide range of good causes within its core funding themes. Approximately 100 community-based organisations are awarded grants each year.

Who Can Apply

Applications are accepted from UK registered not-for-profit organisations.

Eligible organisations should have:

• An annual income of between £25,000 and £500,000.
• Completed at least two years of activity.
• Less than six months of unrestricted free reserves.
• Applicants must have waited at least two years from the date of any previous unsuccessful application or two years after the end date of their last award period.

What you can spend the grant on:

The funding is for community projects that fall within the KCCF's core funding themes:

• Heritage and conservation – the preservation of historic and culturally important buildings and traditional craftmanship, together with the sustainable regeneration of communities and the built environment across the globe.
• Education – supporting education, training and employability opportunities through which young people and adults can fulfil their potential. This includes grants to non-profit organisations working to narrow the attainment gap, support broader education through music, the arts, sports and outdoor pursuits, as well as investing in teachers continuing professional development.
• Health and wellbeing – improving the health and wellbeing of people and communities. Grants have enabled people with disabilities, those facing life limiting illnesses and people from disadvantaged and marginalised communities to benefit from improved physical and mental health.
• Social inclusion – promoting social inclusion for vulnerable and marginalised communities through projects that relieve poverty, loneliness and other social issues.
• Environment – protecting and promoting the natural world through efforts including habitat restoration, species conservation, carbon savings and sequestration and circular economies.
• Countryside – investing in the economic and environmental future of the countryside. This includes grants to support sustainable and regenerative agriculture, nature friendly farming practices and a brighter future for those who live and work in rural communities.
• Priority will be given to projects serving the most disadvantaged communities
